Recognition of Prior Learning
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is a process that acknowledges and assesses the skills and knowledge individuals have gained through work experience, informal training, or other life experiences. This approach allows learners to receive credit towards formal qualifications without having to repeat learning they have already achieved.
RPL is commonly used in educational institutions and vocational training programs to help individuals gain recognition for their competencies. By evaluating prior experiences, RPL can facilitate access to further education and career advancement, making it easier for people to achieve their goals and improve their employability.
